DIY Front Differential Fluid Change Complete
Much easier than what others made this out to be. Didn't have to take the drivers side wheel/tire off. Cut a 1.5" piece of 14mm allen wrench to use to remove & replace the fill plug from underneath. Replaced the original drain plug with a magnetic plug.
1. Remove the 6 bolts on the aluminum skid plate.
2. Use the 1.5" long 14mm allen wrench piece to verify you can remove the fill plug using a 14mm box-end wrench. (see pictures)
3. Remove drain plug & drain differential.
4. Replace drain plug.
5. Fill with proper fluid until it runs out of the fill plug.
6. Replace fill plug.
7. Replace skid plate.
